    opening .dds files with gimp

    Simply, HOW? I got the DDS plugin but the POS wont open DDS files still. Can someone give me a step-by-step rundown of how to install the DDS plugin for gimp so I know if I'm missing something?

    Can someone just open a W10 support.

    As a suggestion, it would be kinda cool if we could exclude certain thread categories from the "recent threads" list.

    I cannot open certain files

    How to change default app to open certain file types.

    It's not as simple as it seems I cannot open certain files :)
    Although it's easy as pie to change default apps by type file, but how to do it if I want to use app that's not on the default Window list?
    Like in this example,

    I cannot open certain files [​IMG]

    File is opened by IE but I have installed in my system programme called Notepad++ and I want it to open .xml files whenever i double click on them. But Notepad++ is not on the Windows list

    I cannot open certain files [​IMG]

    So how to set this up to open .xml files with Notepad++?
